Personal Description:

I am an experienced teaching assistant, currently working at Newbury Park Primary School and have previously worked at schools including Fullwood Primary and Clore Tikva School. I single-handedly taught both my children, who achieved level 3 for all subjects in their Year 2 SATS and level 5 and above for their Year 6 SATS exams. I also helped them with their 11+ exams and they went on to study at Ilford County High School and Woodford County High School.

Tutoring Experience:

I have tutored privately for over 4 years now with all students either meeting or exceeding their target grades. I have also prepared Phonics lessons and guided reading sessions.

Tutoring Approach:

I believe that all students have the potential to achieve immensely and that this is overlooked by teaching in schools as the teachers have to cater for the needs of the class as a whole instead of particular individuals.

I push my students to work independently and arrive at their own answers by questioning and guiding their thought process. I do not believe in spoon feeding as I know that this will mean that my students will struggle in later years, in university and beyond, where they have to figure out answers for themselves.

I set homework every lesson as well as setting monthly tests so that I can get a good idea of how much they have progressed and what they may need extra work on. I also call the parents of the students regularly so that they have an in-depth knowledge of progress and what is going on in the lesson.

Finally, I am caring and positive. I strongly believe that negativity discourages learning and always strive to encourage my students to do as well as they can.

VatsalaFrom Greta (5/5): (GCSE Maths)My daughter attends public school and was preparing for GCSEs. She had B in Maths and just after few months of work with Shiyamali, she got A* in her GCSE Maths. It was a real boost to her confidence as after Shiyamalis explanations she was able to tackle tasks with ease and excitement. I would highly recommend Shiyamali as an amazing tutor who is highly committed to her students progress.

VatsalaFrom Paul (5/5): (GCSE Economics)Shiyamali is a highly competent tutor I would recommend to anyone looking for an Economics, Maths or Further Maths tuition. She took on our daughter who was a B/C grade in Economics and worked with her till she achieved an A* in her GCSE mocks within 2.5 months of tuition!!.
Her way and methods of teaching have given our daughter good understanding of the subject and improved the way she answers exam questions.
Given our daughters quick improvement we have also enrolled Shiyamali to tutor our daughter Maths and we expect the same good results as our daughter is now able to answer A* maths questions with ease and confidence.
Highly recommend her to anyone looking to achieve A* in maths and economics.

Reply from Vatsala: Thank you Paul! It has been a pleasure working with Ashley as she is a very motivated and hard-working student.
